Royal Profile: Prince Christian of Denmark

Prince Christian Valdemar Henri John of Denmark, Count of Monpezat was born 15 October 2005, the eldest child of Crown Prince Fredrick & Crown Princess Mary, and the grandson of Queen Margarethe II {Source}. He has three younger siblings, two sisters and a brother:

Christian: for his great-great-grandfather, Christian X of Denmark, continuing the Danish royal tradition of the heir apparent being named either Christian or Frederick.

Valdemar: for Valdemar IV of Denmark. It is also a common royal name. The Prince's uncle Joachim has Waldemar as one of his names. The Prince's cousin Felix, Joachim's second son, has Valdemar as one of his names.

Henri: for his paternal grandfather, Prince Henrik, whose given name is Henri.

John:for his maternal grandfather, John Donaldson.

Shortly prior to the birth of his youngest siblings, he began attending Garrison Parish Ward Kindergarten{Source}. Since August 2011, he began his formal schooling at Trane Overgaard School{Source}. He may not be a Danish king yet, but he's already made Danish Royal history by being the 1st Danish heir apparent to attend nursery school AND the first Danish Royal to attend a state school.

Although his mother claims that he does not know that he one day will be the Danish King, he has performed several royal duties. In 2008, he participated in his first official royal duty when he attended the opening of the new elephant house at the Copenhagen Zoo with his grandfather{Video}. In June 2010, he was a page boy at the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria{Photos}. On 11 January 2012, he, along his grandmother, revealed a painting of his father, his grandmother and himself{Photos}. He also attended his grandmother's 40th anniversary celebrations {Photos} in 2012. He also attended several London 2012 Olympic events with his family {Photos}. Since 2007, he's been seen during the family's annual photocalls (2007, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013)
